Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest
to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Front Seatback Latches (2-Door Models)
On two-door models, the right front seat of your vehicle
makes it easy
to get in and out of the rear seat.
0 When you tilt the right front seatback fully forward,
the whole seat will slide forward.
After someone gets into the rear seat area, move the
right front seatback to its original position. Then
move the seat rearward until it locks.
To get out, tilt the seatback fully forwara.
Your seatback will move back and forth ‘freely, unless
you come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not fold without
some help from you. That’s if your vehicle is parked
facing down a fairly steep hill.
To fold a front seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear as you lift this latch. Then the seatback
will fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat to
work properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an
accident
-- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn’t protect
you from things beyond your
control, such
as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur
at speeds of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there
are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If
a child will be riding
in your Chevrolet, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want to
know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it
properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
adjuster to the height that is right for you.
To move it down, squeeze the release button and move
the adjuster
to the desired position. You can move the
adjuster up just by pushing up on the shoulder belt
guide. After you move the adjuster to where you want it,
try to move it down without squeezing the release button
to make sure it has locked into position.
Adjust the height
so that the shoulder portion of the belt
is centered on your shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not falling
off your
shoulder.

the
doors and all other
locks.
When a new Chevrolet
is delivered, the dealer removes
the key tag from the key, and gives it
to the first owner.
Each tag has a code
on it that tells your dealer or a
qualified locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep the
tag in a safe place.
If you lose your key, you’ll be able to
have a new one made easily using the tag.
I NOTICE:
Your Chevrolet has a number of new features
that can help prevent theft. But you can have a
lot of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside.
You may even have to
damage your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you
have extra keys.

You can lock or unlock all
doors
of your vehicle from
the driver or passenger door
lock switch.
Push the lower portion of the switch to lock your doors.
Push the upper portion of the switch to unlock your
doors.
The lever on each rear door works only that door’s lock.
It won’t lock (or unlock) all of the doors
-- that’s a
safety feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your door and set
the locks from inside. Then get out and close the door.
Rear Door Security Lock (4-DOOr Models)
Your Chevrolet is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors
of your car
from the inside.
To use one of these locks:
1. Use a key to move the lock all the way up.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
inside when this feature is in use. If you want to open a
rear door when the security lock
is on:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
If you don’t cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won’t be able to open
the rear door from the inside. You should let adults and
older children know
how to cancel the locks.
